    mcvey, Beefy? He was as fat as a pig! Hadn't trained a day . lol

    Fat as a pig, boy artie Q. you really must be bu tt hurt the visual evidence doesnt support that. Another little tidbit that you seem to ignore cos you dont understand boxing is his weight for the fight and his overall weight for his career up to that point, cos . The lowest in the high 80's the heaviest 197. In order for him to be "fat as a pig" he would have to had to be in the 200+pd range, and sad for you, he was in the low 90's. 193 to be exact. Dem are the facts artie Q, face it. But I guess you are a firm believers in "why let the facts get in the way of a story." Exactly what I have been saying a little boxing knowledge would help in your posts. There is visual evidence but you seem to ignore that in favor of your storyline. Maybe that's why in another thread you denied seeing what everyone else saw plain as day, even passing along gif's isolating the 3 sec and now you are saying he was as fat as a pig. Methinks it's time to get glasses, dont be vain. And you call me a troll lol

    RocoPhobe merely describes someone Rocophobic to either greater or lesser extent. Or having Rocophobic tendency. Like an aversion to spiders.

    An out and out Marsoginist nobody can help. That's unhealthy.

    The Layne fight is arguably the best pre- title fight match for Marciano. That or the old Louis who was still collecting very solid scalps despite not looking all that great in doing so.
    I'd have to check Marciano on boxrec to be certain but Off top of my head I would say strong case it is.
    The Marciano legend grew once he became champ. The epic come from behind KO of Jersey Joe. The 1 round blow out in the rematch. The brutal revenge on Lastarza. The nearly stopped on cuts pressure stoppage of Charles. Etc.

    This thread has some underlying Marcoginistic tones to it.

    It was a joke that elicited a wearily predictable response! I wear glasses,but only to see with.
    Yes I believe in"printing the legend" to paraphrase a line from," The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".I'm going to let you into a secret,
    William Harrison,I have no idea what gif stands for!

    Artie Q? I like it! Makes me sound like a somebody,"instead of a bum which is what I am, lets face it.It was you Dempsey 1234". "On The Waterfront".
